STRAINER FOR WASTE-HOLES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 769,152, dated September 6, 1904. Application filed January 21, 1904. Serial No. 189,988. (No model.)

To aZZ whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JOHN HENRY DOYLE, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of New Orleans, in the parish of Orleans and State of Louisiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Strainers for Waste-Holes, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to strainers for wasteholes, more particularly to strainers for wasteholes of sinks, tubs, and basins in which a flushing-pipe is employed and runs from the supply-pipe into the waste-hole and drainpipe.-

It has for its object to provide a strainer for waste-holes comprising a perforated plate adapted to cover the waste-hole'and a solid plate adapted to cover the flushing-pipe.

It has for a further object to provide a device of the character set forthembodying advantages in point of usefulness, simplicity,

inexpensiveness, and general utility.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view of a basin, showing my device applied therein. Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken on the line 3/ y of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is aperspective view of my device.-

Corresponding parts mall the figures are denoted by the same reference characters.

Referring to the drawings, 1 designates the basin, having a waste-hole 2, leading into a waste-pipe 3, provided with a gooseneck-trap 4:, the construction so. far described being old and well .known. The sink is provided with a groove 5 in its back wall and bottom, in

which is seated the flushing-pipe 6, leading from the supply-pipe 7 and into the wasteopening and drain-pipe, this construction, with the exception of the groove provided in the walls of the basin, being-the same as shown in a patent issued to me, this groove being for the purpose of sinking the flushing-pipe out of the way. For the purpose of covering over this pipe and holding it in place andalso for forming a strainer for the waste-'- pipe I provide a devicecomprising a cupshaped plate 8, having perforations'9 in its a bottom 10, registering with the waste-hole; a flange 11, provided with holes 12, .through which screws 13 are inserted and into the basin to fix it in place, and an upwardly-projecting plate 13*, adapted to cover the groove in which the flushing-pipe is seated, which is secured in place by screws 14:, inserted through holes 15 and into the basin. It will be understood that the upwardly-extending plate is to be bent or formed so as to correspond to the contour of the interior of the receptacle in v which the device is applied.

The device is applied as follows: The flushing-pipe is forced into the groove in the basin, sink, or-other receptacle. The cupped part of the plate 8 is inserted into the waste-hole thereof, and the plate 13 placed over the groove in which the flushing-pipe is seated, and the device isthen secured to the sink by means of the screws 13 and 14:.

" and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. The combination with a receptacle of the character described having a waste-hole, and

a flushing-pipe leading into said hole, of a strainer comprising a plate having perforations registering with said hole and a plate projecting therefrom and covering the flushing-pipe, substantially as described.

2. The combination with a receptacle of the Having thus described my invention, I claim character described having a waste-hole, a

groove extending from the top of the receptacle into the waste-hole and a flushing-pipe seated in said groove and extending into the waste-hole, of a strainer having perforations registering with said hole and a plate projecting therefrom and covering said grooves and flushing-pipe, substantiallyas described.

3. The combination with-a receptacle of the character described having a waste-hole anda flushing-pipe leading into said'hole, of a.

strainer comprising a cup-shaped plate seated in, said hole and having perforations in its bottom and a plate projecting therefrom and covering said pipe, substantially asdescribed.

4E. The'combination with a receptacle of the character described having a waste-hole, a

groove leading from the top of the receptacle In testimony whereofIhavesigned my name into said hole and a Waste-pipe seated in said in the presence of the subscribing witnesses. grooves, of a opp-shaped strainer comprising JOHN HENRY DOYLE a plate seated 1n sald hole and having perio- 5 rations in its bottom and a plate projecting WVitnesses:

therefrom and covering said groove and pipe HY REINHARDT, therein, substantially as described. J NO. R. MohLuroN.
